Millennium Fever - Apollo 440

Not many people have this album - AND THEY SHOULD. Although this lacks the full-on guitar based dance of the later albums - I feel this album is perhaps far more accommplished as a finished article.
It begins with a 12 minute introduction big drum "Let's get ready to rumble" and the tempo does not stop from there. the only track which would be known is the (I hate to admit it) fantastic cover of Pearl Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear ...

For fans of this band buy this album. For fans of art buy this album - the cover and inlay features sculptures in dired and computer enhanced human blood - I'll explain no more. A compelling, yet morbid visual treat. and you wouldn't have known it was blood until I told you either.
